[0001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) toprovisional application No. 60/298,363 by Remelts et al. and entitledAccessories For A Workspace, filed Jun. 16, 2001, which is herebyincorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND

[0002] The present invention relates generally to a workspace, and moreparticularly, to accessories for the workspace and a workspace panel.

[0003] Office managers have widely adopted workspace panels as a costeffective and efficient choice for constructing workspaces for officeworkers. Typically, office managers prefer to use workspace panelsinstead of architectural walls when designing a work area becauseworkspace panels can be readily disassembled and reconfigured as neededto satisfy the changing needs of the office workers. Thus, workspacepanels provide considerably more flexibility when designing work areasthan is possible with architectural walls. Later redesigns of existingwork areas are also considerably less expensive when workspace panelsare used than when architectural walls are used.

[0004] Many workspace panels, however, provide a limited degree ofusefulness beyond the basic function of separating individualworkspaces. Accordingly, many workspace panels provide little more thansimple separating partitions that can be connected together at the sidesto form work spaces therein. This disadvantage lowers the workefficiency of office workers and lowers the office worker's satisfactionwith the work area. Thus, there is a need for workspace panels withgreater versatility and increased functionality.

[0005] One need that exists is a system for attaching a variety ofaccessories along a length of the workspace panel using a rail attachedto the workspace panel. In order to maintain an attractive appearance ofthe workspace panel, the rail would be unobtrusive and compact. The railalso would preferably be inexpensive to manufacture and inexpensive andsimple to attach to the workspace panel. Desirably, the rail would bereadily attachable to older workspace panels already in use withinexisting work areas so that office managers could update older workspacepanels inexpensively. Some examples of accessories that would desirablybe attached to a workspace panel rail include lights, privacy and lightreflecting screens and storage units.

[0006] Another need that exists is a system for attaching a variety ofinterchangeable accessories to a surface on the workspace panel usingwork tools that connect to apertures in the workspace surface. Toprovide additional flexibility, the workspace surface with apertureswould be a removable tile connectable to a workspace panel frame. Thus,the apertures would be positionable in a variety of locations on theworkspace panel as desired by individual office workers. The workspacesurface would also be compatible with older workspace panels already inuse within existing work areas so that office managers could updateolder workspace panels inexpensively. Desirably, the work tools would becapable of being connected to more than one type of attaching surface,such as a surface with apertures and a support structure with rails.Some examples of accessories that would desirably be attached to aworkspace panel surface include a display tray, a document holder, astorage tray, a pencil holder, a disk holder, a bundle clip, a documentgripper and a file organizer.

[0007] Another need that exists is a workspace panel surface thatdiffuses ambient light through the workspace panel without permittingvisual sight through the surface. To provide additional flexibility, thelight-diffusing surface would be a removable tile connectable to aworkspace panel frame. The light-diffusing surface would also becompatible with older workspace panels already in use within existingwork areas so that office managers could update older workspace panelsinexpensively. Desirably, the light-diffusing surface would be coveredby a fabric material to provide a pleasing aesthetic exterior surface.Further, the light-diffusing surface could be tackable to allow officeworkers to tack papers and other items to the surface.

[0008] Another need that exists is a wire management system. The wiremanagement system would allow excess lengths of wire to be easily storedcompactly within a workspace without the need for additional retentionmaterials, such as tape or straps. Desirably, the wire management systemwould be capable of storing lengths of wire from more than wire.

BRIEF SUMMARY

[0009] Accordingly, a monorail is provided that may be attached to thetop surface of a workspace panel. The monorail includes an upperretention groove and side attaching members for attaching variousaccessories to the workspace panel. The upper retention groove includesupper retention flanges with an opening extending therebetween. The sideattaching members include a top channel, a bottom channel and an outerflange. The monorail also includes cable management grooves. Accessoriesthat may be attached to the monorail include a privacy screen, a lightreflecting screen, a linear light, a flexible light and storage units.

[0010] A panel tile with apertures is also provided that may be attachedto the workspace panel using snaps and hooks along the rear side of thetile. Apertures extend through a surface of the panel tile which may beused to attach accessories thereto. The accessories include connectinghooks that are attached to the panel tile by inserting a firstattachment portion through the apertures. The connecting hooks alsoinclude a second attachment portion for alternatively attaching theaccessories to a tool rail with rails. Accessories that may be attachedto the panel tile with apertures include a display tray, a documentholder, a storage tray, a pencil holder, a disk holder, a bundle clip, adocument gripper and a file organizer.

[0011] A fabric frame tile is also provided that may be attached to theworkspace panel using hooks and clips along the rear side of the tile.The fabric frame tile includes a semi-transparent screen made of apolycarbonate material that extends between vertical stiles andhorizontal cross members. A fabric material is also included as an outeraesthetic covering. The semi-transparent screen allows light to diffusethrough the workspace panel and into the workspace. The semi-transparentscreen may also be tackable to support tacks pressed into the screen.

[0012] A wire management cleat is also provided that may be attached tothe underside of a worksurface. The cleat includes a base section withside surfaces which wire can be wrapped around for storage. First hooksare also included for retaining the ends of the wire. The cleat alsoincludes secondary cleats with opposing surfaces which additional wirescan be wrapped around for storage. Second hooks are also included forretaining the ends of the additional wires.

DESCRIPTION

[0082] Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1,workspace panels 8 are provided with a number of convenient accessoriesattached thereto. The provided accessories make the workspace moreuseful and functional for workers using the workspace. Additionally, theaccessories may be interchangeable with existing workspace panels,thereby inexpensively providing added usefulness and functionality toolder workspace panels. One example of a workspace panel that may beused with the accessories is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,685,255 toKelly entitled Work Space Management System, which is herebyincorporated by reference. Accordingly, a monorail 10 is provided with aprivacy screen 60, a light reflecting screen 62, a linear light 76, aflexible light 94 and storage units 110 attached thereto. A panel tile150 with apertures 152 is also provided with a display tray 160, adocument holder 194, a storage tray 218, a pencil holder 240, a diskholder 258, a bundle clip 282 and a document gripper 308 attachedthereto. A fabric frame tile 324 is also provided to diffuse light intothe workspace and to support papers tacked thereagainst. A wiremanagement cleat 348 is also provided for storing excess lengths of wirebelow a worksurface 6.

[0083] Referring now to FIGS. 2-28, and particularly to FIGS. 2-4, amonorail 10 is provided for attaching a variety of accessories along alength of a workspace panel 8. In order to minmize the cost of themonorail 10, the monorail 10 may be manufactured as an extruded lengthof aluminum material. The use of an extrusion process also allowscomplex features extending along the entire length of the monorail 10 tobe incorporated into the monorail 10.

[0084] Although the monorail 10 may be attached to the workspace panel 8in several different orientations, the monorail 10 is preferablyattached longitudinally to the top surface 9 of the frame 7 of theworkspace panel 8. This attachment location for the monorail 10 allows anumber of accessories which are described below to be readily attachedto the top surface 9 of the workspace panel 8. Since the attachingfeatures, described below, extend along the entire length of themonorail 10, the accessories may also be attached at any desiredlongitudinal position and may be easily slid along the length of themonorail 10 as desired.

[0085] The monorail 10 is attached to the frame 7 of the workspace panel8 with screws 12 that extend downward from the monorail 10 and into thetop of the workspace panel 8. The head 13 of the screw 12 is retainedwithin the monorail 10 by a lower retention groove 16. Lower retentionflanges 18 are also provided which are squeezed between the head 13 ofthe screw 12 and the top surface 9 of the workspace panel 8, therebyretaining the monorail 10 against the top surface 9 of the workspacepanel 8. The width of the opening 20 between the lower retention flanges18 may be sized to engage anti-rotation surfaces 14 on the screw 12 tomake installation of the monorail 10 easier. A spacer 22 may also beprovided between the monorail 10 and the top surface 9 of the workspacepanel 8 if desired to adapt the monorail 10 to the top surface 9 of theworkspace panel 8 and to raise the height of the monorail 10. The spacer22 may include upwardly facing retention flanges 24 that are insertedinto lower side grooves 26 in the monorail 10. The spacer 22 may alsoinclude downwardly facing retention flanges 28 that abut against theworkspace panel 8. It is apparent, therefore, that the spacer 22provides additional lateral rigidity of the attachment between themonorail 10 and the workspace panel 8.

[0086] An upper retention groove 30 is also provided that is similar tothe lower retention groove 16. The upper retention groove 30 includesupper retention flanges 32 and an opening 34 between the retentionflanges 32 that is sized to engage anti-rotation surfaces 38 on a screw36. Therefore, it is now apparent that, like the lower attaching screw12, an upper accessory attaching screw 36 may be installed in themonorail 10 by inserting the head 37 of the screw 36 into the retentiongroove 30 at one of the open ends 40 of the monorail 10. The screw 36can then be slid along the length of the monorail 10 to the desiredattaching position. The upwardly facing attaching screw 36 may then beused to attach accessories to the monorail 10 as will be describedbelow.

[0087] Side attaching members 42 are also provided on both sides 11 ofthe amonorail 10 for attaching other accessories. The side attachingmembers 42 include a top channel 44, a bottom channel 46 and an outerflange 48. A rib 50 is formed between the top and bottom channels 44,46, and the outer flange 48 forms side surfaces 45, 47 of the top andbottom channels 44, 46. A tab 52 is also provided along the outersurface 49 of the flange 48.

[0088] Accordingly, it is apparent that accessories may be attached tothe side attaching members 42 by either sliding an accessory attachingmechanism onto the top and bottom channels 44, 46 from the open ends 40of the monorail 10 or by clamping or snapping the accessory attachingmechanism around the top and bottom channels 44, 46. Although the sideattaching members 42 may be provided along only one side of the monorail10, or may be provided in the middle of the monorail 10, two sideattaching members 42 at opposing sides are preferred so that accessoriesmay be attached to service both sides of the workspace panel 8.

[0089] Cable management grooves 54 are also provided along the top ofthe monorail 10. The cable management grooves 54 may be sized deepenough and wide enough to accept a number of different wires with bothsmall and large diameters. It is apparent that the cable managementgrooves 54 may be used to route wires from the accessories which areattached to the monorail 10. Accordingly, the cable management grooves54 hide the wires from casual observation, but the wires can be readilyobserved and rearranged from a viewing angle above the workspace panel8.

[0090] To improve the appearance of the monorail 10 and preventaccessories from sliding off the ends of the monorail 10, an end cap 56may be attached to the ends of the monorail 10. Screws 58 are used toattach the end cap 56 to the ends 40 of the monorail 10 whichself-thread into the lower side grooves 26.

[0091] The many advantages of the monorail 10 are now apparent. Themonorail 10 provides a compact, unobtrusive structure for attachingaccessories along a length of the workspace panel 8. The accessories mayalso be attached at any position along the monorail 10 and may be slidalong the length of the monorail 10 as desired. The monorail 10 is alsoattractive and stylistic. In addition, the monorail 10 is inexpensive tomanufacture and easy to attach to the workspace panel 8. Accordingly,the monorail 10 may be attached to older workspace panels already in useto inexpensively provide additional functionality to older workspacepanels.

[0092] Turning now to FIGS. 5-12, one accessory that may be attached tothe monorail 10 is a privacy screen 60 or a light reflecting screen 62.Typically, the screen 60, 62 includes a fabric material 61 that extendsbetween the legs 74 and the upper and lower cross members 63, 65. Thescreens 60, 62 may be attached to the monorail 10 using a screw 36 asdescribed above that extends upwardly from the upper retention groove30. Accordingly, the outwardly facing threaded portion 39 of the screw36 is threaded into the bottom wall 66 of a retaining member 64. Theretaining member 64 includes an inner cylindrical diameter 68 formed bythe side walls 70 and an opening 72 for receiving a leg 74 of the screen60, 62. A set screw 75 may be used to retain the leg 74 within theretaining member 64. Therefore, it is apparent that the screens 60, 62extend upward from the top surface 9 of the workspace panel 8.Accordingly, the privacy screen 60 makes it possible to use shorter andless expensive workspace panels 8 while providing a similar level ofprivacy as taller workspace panels. Furthermore, the light reflectingscreen 62, or curved screen 62, may be used in combination with lightsto reflect light into the workspace.

[0093] The privacy screen 60 and the light reflecting screen 62 mayalternatively be attached to the monorail 10 with an attaching mechanism378 using the side attaching members 42. The attaching mechanism 378includes a first member 380 and a second member 382 that are connectedtogether with a shoulder screw 384. The first member 380 includes a rib386 that is installed into the top channel 44 of the monorail 10 and abottom surface 388 that engages the top of the outer flange 48. Thesecond member 382 includes a first side surface 390 that engages theouter surface 49 of the flange 48. The second member 382 also includes aflange 396 extending out from the first side surface 390 thereby forminga top surface 398 and a second side surface 400. The top surface 398engages the bottom of the outer flange 48, while the second side surface400 engages the side 11 of the monorail 10.

[0094] The first side surface 390 and the second side surface 400 of thesecond member 382 both include a contoured portion 394, 404 to makeattachment of the attaching mechanism 378 easier and faster. Thus, thefirst side surface 390 includes both a first flat portion 392 and afirst contoured portion 394. Similarly, the second side surface 400includes a second flat portion 402 and a second contoured portion 404.Accordingly, the shoulder screw 384 allows the second member 382 torotate relative to the first member 380. It is apparent therefore thatthe attaching mechanism 378 is attached to the monorail 10 by rotatingthe second member 382 until the flange 396 is oriented away from the rib386 of the first member 380. The first member 380 is then installed ontoone of the side attaching members 42 of the monorail 10 by inserting therib 386 into the top channel 44. The second member 382 is then rotatedtowards the monorail 10 with the contoured portions 394, 404 passing bythe monorail 10 before the flat portions 392, 402 until the flatportions 392, 402 engage securely against the outer surface 49 of theflange 48 and the side 11 of the monorail 10. Thus, the contouredportions 394, 404 allow the second member 382 to rotate into placewithout the need for disassembling the second member 382 from the firstmember 380.

[0095] One of the legs 74 of the screen 60, 62 is then inserted into theinner diameter 406 through the top opening 408. The leg 74 may besecured to the attaching mechanism 378 with a set screw 407. The leg 74of the screen 60, 62 may also be formed from a spring 410 instead of arigid tubular material. A spring leg 410 is preferred when it isexpected that the screen 60, 62 will experience repeated forces thatcould fracture a rigid leg. A side connecting member 412 is alsoprovided for connecting the lower cross member 65 of the screen 60, 62to the attaching mechanism 378.

[0096] Turning now to FIGS. 13-15, another accessory that may beattached to the monorail 10 is a linear light 76. The linear light 76may be attached to the monorail 10 using the side attaching members 42.Accordingly, the linear light 76 includes a lighting element 78 thatextends parallel to the monorail 10. The lighting element 78 is attachedto the monorail 10 with legs 80 that are attached to each end of thelighting element 78 and that extend to attaching mechanisms 82. Each ofthe attaching mechanisms 82 include a first clamping member 84 with asurface 86 that engages the outer surface 49 of the outer flange 48. Thefirst clamping member 84 also includes a slot 88 that engages the tab 52attached to the outer flange 48. The attaching mechanism 82 alsoincludes a second clamping member 90 that is secured to the firstclamping member 84 with screws 92 threaded into the first clampingmember 84. The second clamping member 90 engages the inside side surface45 of one of the channels 44. Preferably, the linear light 76 may beused in combination with the curved screen 62 to reflect light into theworkspace. Thus, the linear light 76 may be attached to the monorail 10adjacent and coaxial with the curved screen 62 along the longitudinalcurvature of the screen 62.

[0097] Turning now to FIGS. 16-17, another accessory that may beattached to the monorail 10 is a flexible light 94. The flexible light94 may be attached to the monorail 10 using the upper retention groove30. The flexible light 94 includes a lighting element 96 connected toone end of a flexible portion 100. An attaching mechanism 102 isconnected to the other end of the flexible portion 100. The attachingmechanism 102 is then attached to the monorail 10. Accordingly, thelighting element 96 can be easily repositioned by bending the flexibleportion 100 to direct light towards different areas in the workspace asdesired.

[0098] Preferably, the attaching mechanism 102 includes a top portion104 and a bottom portion 108 that are made from a molded material tofacilitate assembly of the attaching mechanism 102. A threaded adaptor107 is also provided within the attaching mechanism 102 for threadablyconnecting the flexible portion 100 to the attaching mechanism 102. Ahole 106 is provided that extends through both the top portion 104 andthe bottom portion 108. Accordingly, the attaching mechanism 102 isattached to the monorail 10 with a screw 99 that passes through the hole106 and into the upper retention groove 30. The screw 99 is thenthreaded into a retaining nut 101 that is installed in the upperretention groove 30. Thus, the bottom surface 103 of the attachingmechanism 102 is secured against the upper retention flanges 32 and thetop of the monorail 10.

[0099] A hook 105 is also provided for further securing the attachingmechanism 102 to the monorail 10. Accordingly, the hook 105 may engagethe tab 52 on the outer flange 48 of one of the side attaching members42. The hook 105 therefore locks the attaching mechanism 102 andprevents rotation around the screw 99. The hook 105 also positivelylocates the switch 98 outward toward the side to allow easy access fromwithin the workspace. One advantage of the attaching mechanism 102 isthat it allows the flexible light 94 to be used in conjunction with theprivacy screen 60 or the light reflecting screen 62. Accordingly, theflexible portion 100 is connected to the attaching mechanism 102 awayfrom the upper retention groove 30. Thus, the screen 60 may extend abovethe upper retention groove 30 without interfering with the flexiblelight 94. Alternatively, the attaching mechanism 102 may be rotatedninety degrees and mounted to the monorail 10 by inserting the hook 105into the opening 34 in the upper retention groove 30 between the upperretention flanges 32. In this orientation, the hook 105 also locks theattaching mechanism 102 from rotational movement because the sidesurfaces 109 of the hook 105 abut the upper retention flanges 32.

[0100] Turning now to FIGS. 18-28, another accessory that may beattached to the monorail 10 is a horizontal or vertical storage unit110. The storage units 110 may be attached to the monorail 10 using theside attaching members 42. Accordingly, an attaching mechanism 112 isprovided along the rear side 114 of the storage unit 110. The attachingmechanism 112 includes an inverted U-shaped hook 116 at each side of thestorage unit 110. Thus, the first vertical rib 118 of the hook 116 isinserted into the top channel 44 of the side attaching member 42 and thesecond vertical rib 120 of the hook 116 is attached to the rear side 114of the storage unit 110. Therefore, the storage unit 110 hangs from theU-shaped hook 116 and the monorail 10.

[0101] Preferably, the storage unit 110 may be attached to the monorail10 at different heights relative to the top of the workspace panel 8 orrelative to a worksurface 6. Accordingly, a bracket assembly 122attached to the rear side 114 of the storage unit 110 is provided. Thebracket assembly 122 includes a pair of first bracket members 124, witheach first bracket member 124 extending along a portion of the height ofthe storage unit 110 along each side of the storage unit 110. The firstbracket members 124 include two connecting arms 126 extending forwardtoward the storage unit 110. Each of the connecting arms 126 includethree angled finger members 128 extending outward toward the sides ofthe storage unit 110. The connecting arms 126 extend throughcorresponding slots 130 in the second bracket members 132. Each of thesecond bracket members 132 include a side retaining member 134 thatextends along a portion of the height of the storage unit 110 along eachside of the storage unit 110. Each of the second bracket members 132 iswelded along the top end to the attaching mechanism bracket 136.Corresponding holes 138, 140 are also provided through the first bracketmember 124 and the second bracket member 132 to secure the first andsecond bracket members 124, 132 together.

[0102] Therefore, the bracket assembly 122 may be attached to thestorage unit 110 at multiple vertical positions. Accordingly, thebracket assembly 122 is attached to the rear side 114 of the storageunit 110 by inserting the angled finger members 128 of the first bracketmember 124 into cavities 142 in the side panels 144 of the storage unit110. At the same time, the side retaining members 134 of the secondbracket members 132 engage an outside surface 146 of the side panels144. The holes 138, 140 in the first and second bracket members 124, 132are then aligned and retained together with screws 148. Thus, the angledfinger members 128 are now secured to the cavities 142 in the sidepanels 144 and cannot be disengaged. In order to disengage the angledfinger members 128 from the cavities 142, the screws 148 are removedfrom the corresponding holes 138, 140 in the first and second bracketmembers 124, 132. The first bracket member 124 may then be shiftedinward so that the connecting arms 126 translate across the slots 130 inthe second bracket members 132 and the angled finger members 128disengage from the cavities 142. The bracket assembly 122 can then berelocated along the height of the storage unit 110 to reengage theangled finger members 128 in a different set of cavities 142.

[0103] Accordingly, the storage unit 110 can be easily attached to themonorail 10 at more than one vertical position. One advantage of thisfeature is that shorter, less expensive workspace panels 8 may be usedwhile providing a similar vertical position of the storage unit 110relative to the worksurface 6 as is typical with taller workspacepanels. Thus, at least three different vertical positions are possible.The storage unit 110 may be attached to the monorail at a first positionthat is about 16 inches below the top surface 111 of the storage unit110. The storage unit 110 may also be attached to the monorail 10 at asecond position that is about 8 inches below the top surface 111 of thestorage unit 110. The storage unit 110 may also be attached to themonorail 10 at a third position that is about flush with the top surface111 of the storage unit 110.

[0104] Referring now to FIGS. 29-57, a panel tile 150 is provided withapertures 152 through a surface 154 for connecting a variety of worktools to the workspace panel 8. Each of the apertures 152 is shapedoblong and may be about 0.55 inch high and 0.75 inch wide. The apertures152 are positioned along rows, with the apertures 152 being spaced about1.0 inch apart along the rows and each row being spaced about 0.8 inchapart. The panel surface 154 may be made from a sheet metal material.

[0105] Preferably, the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a removabletile that can be readily attached to and detached from a panel frame 7.Accordingly, attaching mechanisms 156, 157, which may be snaps 156 orhooks 157, are provided along the rear side of the panel tile 150 ateach corner of the panel tile 150. Additionally, a backing sheet 158 isprovided along the rear side of the panel tile 150. The backing sheet158 may be made from a high density polyethylene material that is about0.20 inch thick. The backing sheet 158 may be attached at each edge ofthe panel tile 150 so that it extends across the entire back surface ofthe panel tile 150.

[0106] The many advantages of the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 arenow apparent. The apertures 152 may be used to attach a variety of worktools to a surface 154 of the workspace panel 8. Some of the possiblework tools that may be attached to the apertures 152 are describedbelow. Since the panel tile 150 is a removable tile, the location of thepanel tile 150 can be optimized by the user of the workspace so that thework tools attached thereto are conveniently positioned. In addition,the panel tile 150 may be compatible with older workspace panels alreadyin use, thus inexpensively providing additional functionality to olderworkspace panels. The apertures 152 also allow light to diffuse throughthe apertures 152 from outside the workspace to provide more lightinginside the workspace. The backing sheet 158 also improves the diffusionof light into the workspace by allowing light to pass through theapertures 152 while blocking visual sight through the apertures 152. Thebacking sheet 158 also prevents viewing of the interior of the panelframe structure and unsightly cables and wires therein.

[0107] Turning now to FIGS. 29-33, one work tool that may be attached tothe panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a display tray 160. The displaytray 160 includes a single large receptacle 162 that extends across theentire length and width of the display tray 160. Side walls 164, a frontwall 166, a back wall 168 and a bottom wall 170 are also provided forretaining items within the display tray 160. Typically, larger officesupplies like staplers, tape dispensers or standing picture frames arestored in the receptacle 162.

[0108] The display tray 160 includes connecting hooks 172, or attachingmembers 172, along a rear support wall 161 for attaching the displaytray 160 to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152. In order toadequately support the weight of the display tray 160 and the itemsstored therein, a multitude of connecting hooks 172 may be provided,with each hook 172 spaced about 1 inch apart from each other. To reducethe cost of manufacture, the connecting hooks 172 may be plastic andintegrally molded with the rear support wall 161 or the entire displaytray 160.

[0109] The connecting hooks 172 may also include two attachment portions174, 176 for attaching the display tray 160 to different work toolsupport structures. The first attachment portion 174 includes a topsupport surface 178 and a side retaining surface 180. Similarly, thesecond attachment portion 176 includes a top support surface 182 that islower than the first attachment portion top support surface 178 and aside retaining portion 184 that is disposed farther from the rearsupport wall 161 than the first attachment portion side retainingsurface 180.

[0110] Accordingly, the first attachment portion 174 can be used toattach the display tray 160 to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152.This alternative is accomplished by inserting the hooks 172 into theapertures 152 so that the display tray rear support wall 161 abuts theouter surface 154 of the panel tile 150 and the first attachment portiontop support surface 178 abuts the lower edge 151 of the apertures 152.The first attachment portion side retaining surface 180 then preventsthe display tray 160 from being inadvertently dislodged from the paneltile 150 with apertures 152. Similarly, the second attachment portion176 may be used to attach the display tray 160 to a tool rail 186, orother alternative work tool support structure, having horizontal rails188 that are vertically spaced apart from each other. This alternativeis accomplished by inserting the hooks 172 between and through the rails188 so that the display tray rear support wall 161 abuts the outersurfaces 190 of adjacent rails 188 and the second attachment portion topsupport surface 182 abuts the top edge 192 of one of the rails 186. Thesecond attachment portion side retaining surface 184 then prevents thedisplay tray 160 from being inadvertently dislodged from the tool rail186.

[0111] Turning now to FIGS. 34-38, another work tool that may beattached to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a document holder194. The document holder 194 includes a front wall 196 and a rear wall198 that are separated by a storage space 200 therebetween. The frontand rear walls 196, 198 are connected together by a bottom support wall202 and a single side support wall 204. Along the rear support wall 195is a multitude of connecting hooks 206 similar to the display trayconnecting hooks 172 described above. Thus, the document holder 194 maybe attached alternatively to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 or toa tool rail 186. Preferably, the document holder 194 is molded from aplastic material, with one piece including the front wall 196, the sidesupport wall 204 and the bottom support wall 202 and another pieceincluding the rear wall 198 and the connecting hooks 172.

[0112] The bottom support wall 202 may be angled downward toward theside support wall 204, with the side support wall 204 being oriented ata right angle therefrom. Thus, when documents are placed in the documentholder 194, gravity will draw the documents into the storage space 200and against the side support wall 204. Open areas 208, 210 are providedalong the side opposite of the side support wall 204 and along the topto make it easier to place documents in the document holder 194. Thebottom support wall 202 extends only partially along the length of thedocument holder 194, and the side support wall 204 extends onlypartially along the height of the document holder 194. Accordingly, thebottom and side support walls 202, 204 do not intersect, and an openarea 212 is formed at the corner of the bottom and side support walls202, 204. Additionally, the front wall 196 and the rear wall 198 areshaped with rounded, obtuse contours 214, 216 adjacent the open cornerarea 212 and opposite the open corner area 212. Therefore, whendocuments are placed in the storage space 200, the lower inside cornerof the documents is easily visible from below the document holder 194.The open corner area 212 also provides the document holder 194 with aself-cleaning feature that prevents debris from accumulating in thestorage space 200. The upper outside corner of the documents is alsoeasily visible and also provides a large convenient portion of thedocuments that can be grasped for removing the documents or placing thedocuments in the storage space 200. The front wall 196 may also beflaired forward along the upper outside contour 216 to make placingdocuments in the storage space 200 easier.

[0113] Turning now to FIGS. 39-40, another work tool that may beattached to the panel tile with apertures is a storage tray 218. Thestorage tray 218 includes a multitude of connecting hooks 220 along therear support wall 219 similar to the display tray connecting hooks 172described above. Thus, the storage tray 218 may be attachedalternatively to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 or to a tool rail186. The storage tray 218 includes a variety of storage receptacles forconveniently storing different types of office supplies together.Preferably, the storage tray 218 is integrally molded from a plasticmaterial.

[0114] The storage tray 218 includes one lengthwise receptacle 222adjacent the rear support wall 219. Adjacent each end of the lengthwisereceptacle 222 is an aperture 224 that may be used for storing scissors,flower vials or like items. A multi-compartment lengthwise receptacle226 is also provided adjacent the lengthwise receptacle 222. Themulti-compartment receptacle 226 includes a lengthwise dividing wall 228between two compartments 230, 232. A ledge 234 is also provided on therear wall 236 of the rear compartment 230 that can be used to displaybusiness cards. At each end of the multi-compartment lengthwisereceptacle 226 is a smaller receptacle 238 that is about the same widthas the multi-compartment receptacle 226 but shorter in length.

[0115] Turning now to FIGS. 41-43, another work tool that may beattached to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a pencil holder240. The pencil holder 240 includes a multitude of connecting hooks 242along the rear support wall 241 similar to the display tray connectinghooks 172 described above. Thus, the pencil holder 240 may be attachedalternatively to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 or to a tool rail186. The pencil holder 240 includes a large vertical receptacle 244 forstoring office supplies like pencils, pens, scissors and like items.Preferably, the pencil holder 240 is integrally molded from a plasticmaterial.

[0116] The pencil holder 240 includes two dividing walls 246 that extendup from the bottom wall 248 to near the top edge of the side walls 250.The dividing walls 246 may be swept outward. A top opening 252 isprovided at the top edge of the side walls 250 and the rear wall 254.Thus, three vertical compartments 256 are formed in the receptacle 244.Various items can be stored in the pencil holder 240 by lowering theitems through the top opening 252 into the receptacle 244 and into oneof the three compartments 256.

[0117] Turning now to FIGS. 44-48, another work tool that may beattached to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a disk holder 258.The disk holder 258 includes a multitude of connecting hooks 260 alongthe rear support wall 259 similar to the display tray connecting hooks172 described above. Thus, the disk holder 258 may be attachedalternatively to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 or to a tool rail186. The disk holder 258 includes a receptacle 262 for storing disk-likestorage media. Preferably, the disk holder 258 is integrally molded froma plastic material.

[0118] The disk holder 258 includes a bottom support wall 264 that isangle upward from an imaginary horizontal plane. Ridges 265 may beprovided on the bottom support wall 264 to partially separate the disks.A back support wall 266 is attached to the bottom support wall 264 at aright angle thereto. Thus, when the disk holder 258 is attached to thepanel tile 150 with apertures 152 or to a tool rail 186, the tiltedangle of the receptacle 262 draws disks placed therein into thereceptacle 262 and toward the back support wall 266. The front 268 andtop 270 of the disk holder are open to provide easy access into thereceptacle 262. Side ribs 272 are also attached along the sides, withone end being attached to the back support wall 266 and the other endbeing attached to the bottom support wall 264. Thus, the side ribs 272support the bottom support wall 264 and also provide an open side area274 to allow viewing of the receptacle 262 from the side.

[0119] The rear support wall 259 also forms rearward legs 276 at thebottom thereof. In addition, forward legs 278 that are attached to thebottom support wall 264 are also provided. The bottom ends of therearward legs 276 and the forward legs 278 lie on a horizontal planetransverse the rear support wall 261. Accordingly, the disk holder 258may also be used on a horizontal worksurface 6 when not attached to thepanel tile 150 with apertures 152 or to the tool rail 186. Therefore, byresting the disk holder 258 on a worksurface 6, the rearward and forwardlegs 276, 278 support the disk holder 258 while maintaining the tiltedangle of the receptacle 262. In addition, the corner 280 of the bottomsupport wall 264 and the back support wall 266 is positioned near theworksurface 6 to provide additional support if excessive force isapplied to the disk holder 258 thereby causing the legs 276, 278 toflex.

[0120] Turning now to FIGS. 49-54, another work tool that may beattached to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a bundle clip 282.The bundle clip 282 is generally intended for clamping a top portion ofpapers, paper pads, posters and like items. Thus, the papers hang downfrom the bundle clip 282 for display. The bundle clip 282 includes arear member 284, an intermediate member 286 and a front member 288 thatare retained together with a spring clip 290. The spring clip 290 allowsthe front member 288 to be flexed away from the rear member 284 andintermediate member 286 in order to insert papers therebetween forclamping.

[0121] Connecting hooks 292, 294 are also provided along the rearsupport wall 283 of the rear member 284. Like the display trayconnecting hooks 172, the bundle clip connecting hooks 292, 294 may beused to attach the bundle clip 282 alternatively to the panel tile 150with apertures 152 or to a tool rail 186 with horizontal rails 188.However, in order to resist higher dislodging forces expected on thebundle clip 282, both upper connecting hooks 292 and a lower connectinghook 294 are provided.

[0122] The upper connecting hooks 292 include a top surface 296 and atop side retaining surface 298, while the lower connecting hook 294includes a bottom surface 300. Accordingly, the bundle clip 282 can beattached to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 by inserting the upperconnecting hooks 292 into the apertures 152 so that the top surface 296abuts the upper edge 153 of the apertures 152 and by inserting the lowerconnecting hook 294 into an aperture 152 so that the bottom surface 300abuts the lower edge 151 of the aperture 152. The upper and lowerconnecting hooks 292, 294 may flex during insertion to maintain a biasforce against the apertures 152 after attachment. The upper connectinghook top side retaining surface 298 then prevents the bundle clip 282from being inadvertently dislodged from the panel tile 150 withapertures 152.

[0123] The upper connecting hooks 292 also include a bottom surface 302and a bottom side retaining surface 304, while the lower connecting hook294 includes a top flexible surface 306. Accordingly, the bundle clip282 can be attached to the tool rail 186 by positioning the upperconnecting hook 292 so that the bottom surface 302 abuts the top edge192 of a rail 188 and by flexing the lower connecting hook 294 so thatthe top flexible surface 306 contacts the bottom edge 193 of a rail 188.The flexing of the upper and lower connecting hooks 292, 294 maintains abias force against the rails 188 after attachment. The bottom sideretaining surface 304 then prevents the bundle clip 282 from beinginadvertently dislodged from the tool rail 186.

[0124] Turning now to FIGS. 55-57, another work tool that may beattached to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a document gripper308. The document gripper 308 is generally intended for retaining asmall number of documents along a top portion of the documents. Thus,the documents hang down from the document gripper 308 for display. Thedocument gripper 308 includes an upper connecting hook 310 and a lowerconnecting hook 312 along the rear support wall 309 similar to thebundle clip connecting hooks 292, 294 described above. Therefore, thedocument gripper 308 may be attached alternatively to the panel tile 150with apertures 152 or to a tool rail 186. Like the bundle clipconnecting hooks 292, 294, the upper and lower connecting hooks 310, 312resist higher dislodging forces.

[0125] The document gripper 308 includes an opening 314 along the bottomside between the front member 316 and the rear member 318. Additionally,offset ribs 320 with serrations 322 are provided on the inside surfacesof the front and rear members 316, 318. Accordingly, when the edge of adocument is inserted into the opening 314 through the offset ribs 320,the offset ribs 320 force the edge of the document to fold into groovesaround the ribs 320. The folded document grooves then engage the offsetribs 320, thereby producing a friction force that resists removal of thedocument.

[0126] Turning now to FIGS. 67-68, another work tool that may beattached to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 is a file organizer380. The file organizer 380 is generally intended for retaining hangingfolders, such as those sold under the brand name Pendaflex. Thus, thehanging folders hang adjacent the panel surface 154 of the panel tile150 for convenient access. The file organizer 380 includes connectinghooks 384 along the rear support wall 382 for attaching the fileorganizer 380 to the panel tile 150 with apertures 152 or to a tool rail186. Extended support surfaces 383 that extend below the rear supportwall 382 are also included to provide additional support against thepanel tile 150 or tool rail 186.

[0127] Opposing arms 386 extend outward from the rear support wall 382about 3.5 inches. Each arm 386 includes an upper ledge 390 adjacent therear support wall 382 and a lower ledge 388 attached to the upper ledge390. The upper ledge 390 includes an upper retention knob 391 away fromthe rear support wall 382, and the lower ledge 388 includes a lowerretention knob 389 away from the upper ledge 390. According, hangingfolders may be supported by the file organizer 380 by engaging hangingfolders onto either the upper ledge 390 or the lower ledge 388. Theupper and lower retention knobs 391, 389 prevent the hanging foldersfrom sliding off of the ledges 390, 388. The difference in heightbetween the upper and lower ledges 390, 388 also allows easier viewingand access to the rear hanging folders supported by the upper ledge 390.

[0128] Referring now to FIGS. 58-62, a fabric frame tile 324 is providedfor diffusing light into a workspace and for providing a tackablesurface. The fabric frame tile 324 includes vertical stiles 326 that areattached at the corners to horizontal cross members 328. The verticalstiles 326 and horizontal cross members 328 may be made from a varietyof materials including a plastic material. The vertical stiles 326 andhorizontal cross members 328 are attached together with protrusions 330extending from the vertical stiles 326 that slide into longitudinalcavities 332 in the horizontal cross members 328. Hooks 334 and clips336, or other attaching mechanisms, are also provided along the rearside of the vertical stiles 326 for attaching the fabric frame tile 324to the frame 7 of workspace panel 8.

[0129] The fabric frame tile 324 also includes a screen 338 that extendsbetween each of the vertical stiles 326 and each of the horizontal crossmembers 328. Inward facing longitudinal slots 340 are provided on thevertical stiles 326 and the horizontal cross members 328 for retainingthe screen 338. Accordingly, the edges of the screen 338 fit within thelongitudinal slots 340, thereby securing the screen 338 in place.Preferably, the screen 338 is made from a semi-transparent material,such as a polycarbonate material. The screen 338 is an extruded sheetwith two opposing outer walls 342 connected together withinterconnecting walls 344. The screen 338 may be about 0.25 inch thick,with the walls 342, 344 being about 0.025 inch thick. A loose weavefabric 346 is also provided as an outer aesthetic covering for thefabric frame tile 324. The fabric 346 extends across the front side ofthe fabric frame tile 324 and is wrapped around and retained to thevertical stiles 326 and the horizontal cross members 328.

[0130] The many advantages of the fabric frame tile 324 are nowapparent. The fabric frame tile 324 allows light to pass from outside aworkspace through the semi-transparent screen 338 and loose weave fabric346 into the workspace. However, visual sight through the fabric frametile 324 is blocked in order to maintain privacy and to prevent viewingof the internal panel structure and unsightly wires and cables therein.The fabric 346 covering also maintains an attractive outer appearanceand can be matched to other standard tiles used on the workspace panel8. Furthermore, the screen 338 can support tacks by pressing the tacksthrough the screen 338, thereby retaining papers and other items againstthe fabric frame tile 324. In addition, the fabric frame tile 324 may becompatible with older workspace panels already in use, thusinexpensively providing additional functionality to older workspacepanels.

[0131] Referring now to FIGS. 63-66, a cleat 348 is provided formanaging excess lengths of wire around a worksurface 6. The cleat 348includes a base section 350 with a mounting face 352 on one side and aflange section 354 on the other side. The flange section 354 extendsoutward from the side surfaces 351 of the base section 350. A number offirst hooks 356 are attached to one of the side edges 355 of the flangesection 354. The first hooks 356 are arranged into two pairs, with eachpair having two first hooks 356 facing outwardly of each other. Thefirst hooks 356 may have a retaining tab 357 and may be flexible tobetter retain wires snapped therein. Two secondary cleats 358 areattached to the other side edge 355 of the flange section 354. Each ofthe secondary cleats 358 include two opposing surfaces 360 transverse tothe flange section side edge 355. The secondary cleats 358 also includeside surfaces 362 extending from the opposing surfaces 360 which areparallel to the flange section side edge 355. At the outer edge 364 ofeach of the secondary cleats 358 are two second hooks 366 with retainingtabs 368 similar to the first hooks 356 described above. Two holes 370extend through the base section 350 to allow screws 372 to passtherethrough for attaching the cleat 348 to mounting surfaces 374.

[0132] The many advantages of the cleat 348 are now apparent. The cleat348 may be attached to a variety of mounting surfaces but is especiallyuseful when attached to the underside 374 of a worksurface 6. The cleat348 may be attached directly to the worksurface 6 or to an extendedportion 376 from the worksurface 6 with screws 372 passing through theholes 370 in the base section 350. Excess lengths of wire can then bewrapped around the side surfaces 351 of the base section 350 with theends being snapped into the first hooks 356. Accordingly, the firsthooks 356 and the flange section 354 retain the excess wire and preventthe wire from unwrapping from the cleat 348. Smaller lengths of excesswire may also be wrapped around the opposing surfaces 360 of thesecondary cleats 358, with the ends being snapped into the second hooks366. Thus, the cleat 348 is able to store more than one excess length ofwire.

[0133] The above-described accessories and features may also be usedwith the accessories and features described in U.S. patent applicationSer. No. 60/298,361 to Smith et al. (Atty. Docket No. 3591-1108) filedon Jun. 16, 2001, entitled Furniture System, which is herebyincorporated by reference.
